Guess we have it hard confirmed now, what we essentially already knew before, but didn't have spelled out: People in silver cloth can neither use magic, nor be targeted by Ordonnanzes.
I wonder if Giebe Gerlach was also healed by Rozemyne's healing... and if he was, hopefully Grausam was already out on the balcony, so he didn't notice, or he'd sure have "re-applied" those wounds.
Nice of Kazuki-sensei to close off a "plot hole" that wasn't even one. I don't think anyone would ever have complained about Rozemyne not recognizing the voice of the masked attacker as Grausam's, after hearing only one or two sentences from him at her first spring prayer tour. And yet, even if some nitpicker were to bring it up, the body double neatly closes it off anyway. ^^
Though I am a bit confused by the barrier around the estate: Is blocks people from entering, but does not ward off attacks? So enemies can not enter, but are free to blast fireballs into it and burn it down? That seems like something of a design flaw to me. Or is the barrier designed to not encompass the balcony?
Yeah that barrier doesn't seem to block attacks, only people. I've been under the assumption the giebe estates are white stone buildings which wouldn't burn down, but I'm not positive.
Not really a plot hole, but an inconsistency I noticed in the prologue: On countless occasions since Georgine had discovered that Ehrenfest’s foundation was hidden within its temple, Grausam and his accomplices had attempted to sneak inside—but then Rozemyne had been adopted by the archduke and assigned to serve as the High Bishop.
That seems to imply that Georgine discovered the temple foundation entrance before Rozemyne was adopted and made the High Bishop. Georgine didn't visit Ehrenfest and obtain Bezewanst's letters until almost a year after Rozemyne was adopted. That either means that Georgine knew about the temple entrance long before obtaining those letters or maybe it's a mistranslation?
Thinking about it more I'd say there was probably a word omitted. I'm thinking it was supposed to be:
On countless occasions since Georgine had discovered that Ehrenfest’s foundation was hidden within its temple, Grausam and his accomplices had attempted to sneak inside—but by then Rozemyne had been adopted by the archduke and assigned to serve as the High Bishop.
